I doubt it - most likely its hard to see from that angle due to poor quality/bitrate of the video.

Sub-scale prototype. Seems the flight software is still in early stages/taken from a conventional drone, requiring the vertical stabilizer. Still awaiting the flying wing software it seems.

Launch successful! The satellite stack visualized by u/Ohsin on Reddit: Based on the released pic during assembly:

Fixed-wings are on the deck! You can also see the Wireframe model of 29K beside the real one - used to study hangar, lift & deck movements to optimize the procedure.

VLS unit was installed & tested from a Rajput-class destroyer

HAL Dhruv of the Border Security Force (BSF)

They're also pitching it to the IAF, as an alternative for the now-dropped JV with Russia for Il-214 MTA (as An-32RE replacement)

"How long it takes" depends on variables like how much you are prepared to spend, how many qualified nuclear scientists are available, how much working experience they have with nuclear tech, how much new infrastructure you have to build, what level of secrecy you need to follow etc. A country...

It's mutual cooperation. It's not very practical for India to interact with its north-eastern states avoiding Bangladesh, best to transit through instead. Bangladesh on the other hand cannot interact with the wider world via land except through India (or Myanmar with which they have bad...

It's sarcasm bro...after the news that Astra was overweight by 50kg. "Flameless, thrustless" propellent is the key. Mihir Shah is a master of this art.

Wise choice - the Chinook can perform 90% of roles the CH-53K can, at a fraction of the cost.

A local production line for mere 57 jets is financially non-viable. The new tender is dead before its born. I only hope this means we'll end up going for a Govt-to-Govt deal for 57 more Rafales (F4 variant) and call it a day. Rest of the requirement will be met by Tejas Mk-2s.

I'll offer my thoughts on a more broad answer "how to counter stealth aircraft". Surveillance Long-wavelength radars have historically never had much of a fundamental problem with detecting LO/VLO aircraft - the only aircraft that can reliably defeat these radars are the likes of B-2 Spirit...
